Preview any link, anywhere - Link Preview Extension

It's very simple to use, according to your settings preference you will be able to preview links from either hovering the link or clicking while holding a predefined key.
You can drag the preview around the screen and resize it at the corners.
This extension is currently in pre release, there are many functionalities coming.

Don't waste time.
With LinkPreview you can read your news 10x faster. No ads, no sponsored articles and way less time to load the information that you want to read. Great part of the time for loading content on the internet comes from the browser taking time to paint images and content on the screen, with LinkPreview almost all of that time spent painting is gone, so you can access your content faster.

A safer way of browsing.
LinkPreview uses DOMPurify, which means every content previewed will be first cleaned to prevent XSS attacks. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks are a type of injection, in which malicious scripts are injected into otherwise benign and trusted websites.

SOON

Clemens Ratte-Polle (ID: 00000020588ec5f5) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 06/09/2023 you need to allow all XHR scripts on all pages ? no

Raegan Hill (ID: 00000055b5dd393f) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/22/2022 Love the concept but it does not work. I've rebooted, cleared cache, restarted chrome, etc.

Ren Cee (ID: 000000501c1938a4) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/24/2022 Good concept, but outdated design. Like many others have said, very outdated, does not appear to be any new updates. Not even most common custom options like selecting how many seconds before hover box opens, or desired size, you have to keep click out of every box each time. Again, good concept, but outdated design. 2.5 Stars

Sebi Sebimm (ID: 0000001693d9e51d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/21/2022 Works very good. I would suggest improving it by letting me customize the zoom-settings.

Bora (ID: 000000fdc3d6822e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/28/2022 It is okay but needs UX improvements. Probably more configurations for customization needed. For example I want the popups to be closed when clicking outside of it. Clicking close button every time is not good.
